…The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.


I think this is good news. As people become increasingly comfortable with drawing their culture from a rich range of sources—cherry-picking whatever makes sense to them—it becomes more natural to do the same thing with their social, political and other cultural ideas.

MSNBC “Gets Real”…WTF?

i like msnbc’s Contessa Brewer but WTF? i heard her say it before and thought i had to of misheard but then bam! she said it again; talking about an upcoming segment on vaccines: …”flu and the vaccine shortage. When will vaccines be available to every american who wants one?…how will doctors tell people to deal with friends and coworkers when they do come down with flu symptoms. Coming up I’ll “get real” with a pregnant mom and an expert on infectious diseases…- Contessa Brewer

is this suppose to be cool? i could actually forgive it a bit if she said it while in a discussion, maybe she can’t help getting her “cool” on, but this was obviously scripted. it’s like a made for the daily show bit. here you are Mr. Stewart another “just sayin” piece teed up for ya.
